I very much enjoyed your rant. Would subscribe.
Hey fellow HoTS Linuxer!
Y’all need to get yourselves that Windows 10 2021 LTSC IoT badboy (IoT part is important). It’s supported until 2032 and it’s only bloat is edge. If I had to use windows again it would be that.
You don’t even have to be rooted. RCS won’t work using a non-rooted custom ROM.
I’m not so sure about that, they seem pretty hostile to consumers and employees.
Not really, seems like people are much more reasonable IRL than compared to the loud crazy crap you see online.
You could check out distros like mint, zorinOS, fedora, popos, and Nobara. I think all of those will come with nvidia drivers so you don’t have to set them up manually. Nobara in particular is set up for gaming out of the box, I don’t know how well it actually works personally. You could just install Ventoy on a USB stick then load up multiple Linux distros on it, then just select the one you one to try live at boot. Mint and zorin will be the most familiar.
Yea no kidding. Gnome is pronounced Guhnome, Mate DE is pronounced Matay, Open Suse is susuh not soos, and Qt is to be pronounced as “cute” instead of just… Q-T. Many such cases.
Yea tried that already, one won’t work at all and one will stop working after sometime. I assume it still has something to do with google services. I have not tried with microg. Either way… I’ll get there to google-free land eventually its a work in progress. Sometimes I do consider just ripping off the band-aid and installing raw lineage os then learn to deal with it from there.
I agree but there’s 2 apps there is no good alternative for and they are paid, at least one of them I am learning Android studio + Kotlin to recreate it. The other I have found Wx which is OK but besides that there is no good advanced weather radar.
Needs to be something like family is going to use you see. Which is why I liked what Signal had since it doubled as SMS.
I knew it! I had the sneaking suspicion that this was the case. About a month ago I updated my phone to Android 14 (custom rom) and noticed I started having trouble with RCS after a couple days since the update. I knew I was going to lose the play integrity but whatever. RCS was nice but I will not bend… just pushing me a step further to de-googling my phone. Lol it’s funny how they cry to Apple about supporting RCS but yet refuse to allow third party apps or phones that don’t meet their requirements, pathetic. There should be an encrypted text communication standard that isn’t controlled by one company who can lock you out because you don’t have approved software, that is ridiculous. That being said, I wish Signal was still a SMS app.
Not enough people realize this.
Imagine if companies quit with the bs fluff talk and just told it like is. I think it might be easier to take their shit if they just told you things straight up.
A recent example of this is the skiff email they sent out to everyone. Six paragraphs of time wasting fluff that the end user doesn’t give a damn about. They could have simply said something along the lines of “We have sold our company to notion and will be sunsetting our products in 6 months. This means you will need to find another email provider within that time.”.
“WJLX still has its FM transmitter and tower, it is not allowed to operate its FM transmitter while the AM station is off the air.”
But why?
You see, you are supposed to have a “musk bad” comment, not a rational comment.
Well you should learn who he is if you hate greedy corporate scumbags. He’s out there fighting the good fight.
He said until EOL. Windows LTSC, the IoT version in particular is supported until 2032.
